Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 15 Moving MIDlets There are two parts to installing MIDP for Palm OS. You must install the MIDP for Palm OS package on your desktop computer, and you must install the MIDP for Palm OS implementation (Java™ HQ) on your Palm OS device.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 16 Result of the Installation Installing the MIDP for Palm OS implementation adds the following icon to your device’s home screen:

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 17 Example of TextBox 3

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 18 Running applications written in Java This screen contains a copyright notice and a Preferences button. Tapping the Preferences button gives you the option to change the MIDP for Palm OS global preferences. This screen also provides help (a “tip”) if you tap the icon. Java™ HQ cannot launch Java applications. You run a Java application by tapping the application’s icon.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 19 Installing Java Applications A Java application written for MIDP is distributed as a pair of files, –one with a.jar extension and –the other with a.jad extension. Other than their extensions, the files have the same name. –For example, a poker Java application would be distributed as the files Poker.jar and Poker.jad.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 20 Converting You must convert it to a Palm OS application before you can install it. A PalmOS application is a file that has a.prc extension. You use the Convertor tool to do this.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 21 Packaging a Java application The KToolBar will package your Java MIDlet Select the Project menu Then select Package from that menu Then select Create Package from that menu The Package is created as a.jar and.jad pair in the bin folder of the project

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 22 Convertor If your computer is configured to run JAR files directly, you could double-click on the Converter.jar file.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 23 To Change JAR/JAD Files Into a PRC File 1. Make sure the JAR and JAD file are in the same directory. 2. If the PRC Converter Tool is not running, start it. A window similar to the one in the following figure will appear:

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices 24 Using the tool 3. Click the PRC Converter Tool’s Folder button ( ), or choose Convert from its File menu. A dialog box similar to this 4. Navigate to the directory where the JAD and JAR files are located.

Programming Handheld and Mobile devices Select a JAD file to convert. The JAD info panel shows you information about the Java application. Note that if your desktop computer system supports selecting multiple files in dialog boxes, you can select multiple JAD files to convert. 6. Click the Convert button to convert the JAR/JAD file pair to a PRC. (Clicking Convert does not affect the original JAR/JAD files; it merely creates a new file with a.prc extension.)
